Alpha For those just starting out as Christians or exploring what it means to be a Christian we will be running a course in the Autumn. Dates to be finalised. Wheelchair Sometimes people coming to church on disability scooters find it difficult to get to the toilet whilst in church. It would be a help to have a wheelchair available for them. If you know of one that could be donated to the church it would be a great help.

Mara Update I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am fine indeed, and I thank God to continue to strengthen my ministry and bible study groups in the Diocese. At the moment our study bible groups in the Diocese are increasing in number. Our goal is to establish study bible groups from

local churches up to the Diocesan level. On Friday last week, I was going to visit bible study groups at Bunda, Isenye and Mugumu on the road I got an accident and my car totally broken but no one injured. That at the moment I am in the process of maintenance. Please pray for me at the moment of bringing back to office. Thanks and be blessed - Revd Can Jacob.
